It is a seven-story hexagonal iron tower, with six chains as thick as a human body. One end of each chain is connected to the eave of the towerâs peak, while the other end is firmly nailed to the ground with massive copper pillars. Both the iron tower and the chains are flickering with faint light patterns of talismans that repel demons. A restricting force is swirling around it, specifically targeting the demon creatures.
âThis is the Lock Demon Tower!â
Following Feng Qingâanâs gaze, Xiao Yi answered very tacitly before he could ask.
Every first-time visitor to the Demon Nation is invariably awestruck by the sight of the Lock Demon Tower. It was a part of the display of the thousand-year-old heritage of the Xiao Family.
âHehe, Mr. Feng, donât be fooled by its grandiosity. Iâll have you know, the Xiao
Family only built this Lock Demon Tower one by one after opening up the
Demon Nation. They didnât have such a contraption in the beginning!â
Yun Lin started revealing the Xiao Familyâs secrets again, tossing out little-known information to Feng Qingâan for free. Xiao Yi shot him a glance but didnât bother to react.
If revealing a touch of oneâs strength lessens trouble, then it isnât a bad thing. As long as the revealed strength is intimidating enough, it can scare off many potential problems.
Vice versa, if one tends to be too low-profile, others might think they could easily be manipulated, which could invite disaster.
Pretending to be a pig to eat a tiger is an embarrassing affair, especially when the act is convincingly carried out that everyone takes you for a pig. Then even if you reveal yourself to be a tiger, no one would believe you anymore.
âBuilt one by one?â
Feng Qingâan picked up on the key detail, his eyebrows lightly raised. He gazed at the thirty-foot tall tower, noting that its construction materials were no ordinary metal.
The spiritual essence within was so intimidating that even Black Mountain next to him was taken aback. This was indeed a genuine Lock Demon Tower. Even a powerful demon captured inside would likely be at a disadvantage. âHow many of these Lock Demon Towers exist?â
âTo ensure all the demon creatures sent to the Demon Nation canât escape, a Lock Demon Tower has been built at every human passage, combining the number of celestial strangulations!â
At this point, it wasnât just Yun Lin spilling the beans. Xiao Yi took it upon himself to reveal their secrets. There were thirty-six Lock Demon Towers erected in the Demon Nation, each one corresponding to a passage connecting the outside world.
âThe Lock Demon Tower! It prevents the demon creatures from escaping!â
After a few considerations, Feng Qingâan sensed something off.
The number of entrances and exits set up in the Demon Nation seemed too many. Built such many Lock Demon Towers, could it merely be a ploy to appease visitors indulging in debauchery, letting them vent their excess energy and desire on the demons here?
What a joke!
âThe Demon Nation isnât just a place for the visitorâs pleasure, is it?â Feng Qingâan turned to Xiao Yi.
âThe Young Master is indeed brilliantly insightful. The top laureate in the upcoming Imperial Examination can be no one but you!â
âThe examination hasnât started yet, itâs too soon to tell. Iâd be satisfied with attaining a mere scholarly title!â
âIf the Young Master wishes, just like your brother, getting the Six Principalities is not impossible!â
âI know my own capabilities. Comparing literary talent, I am not even one-tenth as good as my brother. How could I get the Six Principalities? Now letâs talk about your Demon Nation!â
Listening to the somewhat profound conversation of the worldâs young gentleman before him; seeing Yun Lin on the side seeming to take it for granted, Feng Qingâan furrowed his brows. He swiftly changed the subject back to the Demon Nation, as he was more interested in it than the Imperial examination.
Although the Demon Nation had one entrance situated in the pleasure districts, it was clear that allowing people to indulge in pleasures with the demon creatures was merely a ploy for income. It seemed that the Demon Nation served some more significant responsibilities within Da Jin.
âTo the demon creatures residing here, calling it the Ten Thousand Demon prison would be more fitting!â
At this point, Yun Lin spoke up, answering Feng Qingâanâs question. But he was serious for less than one sentence before bursting into laughter,
âHowever, for us, whether itâs called the Demon Nation or Demon Prison makes no difference. We just come in for pleasure, we donât get to see the real Demon Prison, we just roam around the upper layer!â
âThe top layer?
âThe Demon Nation has more than one layer, but I donât know exactly how many. Youâll have to ask the root-and-branch Xiao gentleman here, he knows better!â
Yun Lin looked towards Xiao Yi, whose face had turned black again.
âI donât know. Donât ask me!â
By this point, Xiao Yiâs attitude was clear. If it was about something the Xiao family openly exhibited, he could answer. But, when it came to more intrinsic matters, he simply didnât know.
âOne layer for the Demon Nation and one for the Demon Prison? So there must be at least two layers!â
âMr. Feng, youâre off by a bit. There must be at least three layers. They have one layer for the Xiao family residences too! Although there are also rumors of five layers, and even seven. The most outrageous claim is nine layers. But how many layers there actually are, only the direct line of the Xiao family would know! â
Yun Lin was still trying to reveal the Xiao family secrets. However, when it came to the most basic matters, even he was clueless.
The Xiao family had never openly shown their entire blessed land, only allowing outsiders to speculate. They never confirmed anything, as they had already demonstrated their strength, so they did not feel the need to prove
anything else..
